AQUARIUS FULL MOON
This Full Moon is super-charged . . . the most impactful moon of 2024, with ALL PLANETS involved, in some capacity. It occurs on Monday, August 19th at 2:26 pm EDT (adjust for your Time Zone) at 27* Aquarius.
It is, also a SUPER FULL MOON and a BLUE MOON . . . Occurring, together, between 10-20 years, the next one, not until 2037.
A Super Full Moon is one orbiting closer to earth, so it appears larger & brighter than usual.
A Blue Moon is one with one of 2 meanings (neither referring to the colour blue)
firstly, when 2 Full Moons occur in the same calendar month, the second is called a BLUE Moon.
Secondly, when there are 4 Full Moons in one Season, the 3rd is known as a BLUE Moon.
The second type is what we will be experiencing at this AQUARIUS FULL MOON, due to the fact that June’s Full Moon occurred only one day after the Summer Solstice, giving the 2024 Summer Season 4 Full Moon’s this year instead of the usual 3/Season.
Full Moons ALWAYS highlight the Sun and Moon in Opposition, with the Sun illuminating the moon, at its peak phase. During this August Full Moon, the Leo (Sun) - Aquarius (Moon) Axis is in the foreground
LEO: Fire * Heart * Personal * Individual Expression
AQUARIUS: Air * Mind * Collective * Group Expression
Here, we are being urged to BALANCE these 2 energies and cooperate with others while remaining true to our own individuality. We are being urged to: Align Heart & Mind.
As human beings we are hardwired to grow and evolve in a continuous cycle of awakening.and Aquarius is the sign of progress, with its modern ruler: Uranus being the Planet of Awakening! It OFTEN Deconstructs in order to Reconstruct, showing us what needs to CHANGE, both in society and within our own thinking.
AQUARIUS is the Sign of: EQUALITY * FREEDOM * TRUTH. It is the sign that sees everyone as equal focusing on unconditional love for all of humanity and embracing the qualities of acceptance over judgement, for Self and Others.
During this Powerful Aquarius Full Moon . . . ASK YOURSELF:
How can I use my unique talents to contribute to my community and to society, as a whole?
Many cosmic dynamics are at play during this challenging Full Moon, creating tense, yet empowering energies:
.2 T-SQUARE PATTERNS: (Squares on steroids) . . . creating “Inner Tension”
Fixed Signs: Leo (Fire) - Aquarius (Air) - Taurus (Earth) . . .
Sun/Moon in Opposition are, both, Square Uranus, the planet of sudden & unexpected events. This is a time to be authentic, adaptable and accepting.
Mutable Signs: Virgo (Earth) - Pisces (Water) - Gemini (Air) . . .
Venus/Saturn, (Retrograde) in Opposition are, both, Square Mars/Jupiter . . . A time to stay grounded and use discernment with your words, when relating with others. Jupiter expands whatever is touches and aligned with Mars, in Gemini, it can exaggerate impulsive action; especially, with words. When speaking . . . Come from the heart.
As well,
Mercury, still Retrograde is aligned with the Sun, (in its home sign), of LEO, urging you to be true to your feelings and trust your intuition. Relax the mind, Don’t Overthink, Be Inspired, Create you own Vision for the future & Love your uniqueness. “Your Truth will set you free!”
JUPITER SQUARE SATURN is an important aspect to highlight, separately, during this Intense * Turbo-Charged Full Moon on August 19th, as the cosmos is so full of dynamic energies, all swirling about and intermingling at this time. This is the first square (waxing) since the GREAT CONJUNCTION between these 2 Social Planets on Dec. 21, 2020 . . . It ushered in a new Generational energy, setting the societal theme for ~ the next 20 years.. This SQUARE creates a “Push - Pull” energy for CHANGE
Jupiter expands while Saturn restricts
Since the square occurs in the Mutable Signs of GEMINI (Jupiter) and PISCES (Saturn) . . .FLEXIBILITY is KEY!
With Saturn in retrograde motion (APPEARING to be moving backward through the heavens), at this time:
Ask Yourself what you, truly, want to manifest in your life, now.
BEST PRACTICE:
Hold on to your Visions (Jupiter) while Maintaining Patience (Saturn) in acting upon them, at this time..Strategies may require some tweaking and/or reconsiderations. Look for new solutions. Trust what comes to you.
and
Last but not least . . .
PLUTO. the Planet of TRANSFORMATION sits at 0* AQUARIUS, the exact degree of the JUPITER/SATURN “GREAT CONJUNCTION” at 0* Aquarius.
Seeds for CHANGE are, definitely, being planted, at this time. This is the final Full Moon prior to the beginning of ECLIPSE SEASON, in September.
Eclipses are ALWAYS bring some type of Transformation.
BEST PRACTICE: “STAY FLEXIBLE & GO WITH THE FLOW” while holding on to your personal TRUTH and your Vision for the Future.
(An abundance of information to digest, I know. My brain is taxed)! 😂
The August Full Moon is, also, known as the STURGEON MOON.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this was the time when this large Great Lakes’ fish was most plentiful and provided the primary food source for the Eastern Native North Americans.
In Closing,
During this high intensity, fully-loaded AQUARIUS FULL MOON . . . Allow yourself to contemplate your uniqueness and how you can use your individual gifts and talents to contribute to your community and to society, at large. We’re all sharing this earthly experience, together . . . in ONENESS!
NAMASTÉ 🙏
FULL 🌕 MOON BLESSINGS!
